Peasant women in Çıplaklı village, where money and credit cards have no value, meet their needs in a bartering manner rather than with money.
In Çıplaklı village, belonging to Selim county in Kars, peasant women meet their needs by exchanging geese, chicken and eggs just as they live a period in the history when the money was not invented, yet. While kids exchange eggs to get chips and chewing gums, women exchange geese, chicken and eggs to meet their daily needs. Stating that they cannot find money all the time, the villagers who make a living by agriculturing and animal breeding, add that they have been bartering stuff in order to meet their needs for the centuries.
Sevginaz Yılmaz, a residant of this village, went to the shopping market with the goose in her hands. She made a big bargain in return for the stuff she was going to get with Dudan Gündaş, owner of the shop. Selling her goose for 70 TL, by complaining about the animals which have less price to be sold to, she said "I brought my goose to the shopping market to sell. Our stuff do not cost highly, we go to the animal shopping market and we sell our cows for only 2.000 TL. Citizens like me will use the exchange method to meet their needs when they cannot recieve enough money."
This text is not a very formal text, therefore the use of vocabulary is not very academically chosen. Thus, the register of the text makes it very easy for a random person to comprehend it. I think one of the most challenging thing is to be able to think of the equivalants of these dialects / speeches of a small village person in the target language. This text should be a very word-to-word translation. But rather it should be a sense-to-sense one because it is enough what the whole text is about.
